Aluminium foil is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves, with a thickness less than 0.2 millimetres (8 mils), thinner gauges down to 6 µm (0.2 mils) are also commonly used.[1] In the USA, foils are commonly gauged in mils. Standard household foil is typically 0.**6 millimetres (0.6 mils) thick and heavy duty household foil is typically 0.**4 millimetres (0.9 mils).The foil is pliable, and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated to other materials such as plastics or paper to make them more useful. Aluminium foil supplanted tin foil in the mid *0th century.

Annual production of aluminium foil was approximately **0,**0 tonnes (**0,**0 tons) in Europe[1] and **0,**0 tonnes (**0,**0 tons) in the USA in ***3.[2] Approximately *5% of aluminium foil is used for packaging of foods, cosmetics, and chemical products, and *5% used for industrial applications (e.g. thermal insulation, cables and electronics).[2]
